If you decide to shift from Terraform to OpenTofu, here is how to do it. Our very own Ori Yemini wrote a step-by-step manual on how to perform the migration to OpenTofu technically. It's much easier than you would imagine, but there are still some challenges and things to look out for, especially if you have a large number of stacks. We're building some pretty awesome features around Terraform and OpenTofu, so stay tuned! The link to the blog is in the comment section #opentofu #terraform #iac

Hi everyone, If you're familiar with Terraform, you probably know about the tfenv utility – a tool used to manage different versions of Terraform. But what if you need to manage multiple versions of not just Terraform, but also OpenTofu and Terragrunt? Check this tenv, a versatile tool designed to manage versions of all three tools : Terraform, OpenTofu, and Terragrunt. Check out this link for more information. https://lnkd.in/edDNjyKZ I hope OpenTofu users, as well as Terraform and Terragrunt users, will find it incredibly useful! #opentofu #iac

OpenTofu v1.8 marks a significant step forward by introducing .tofu files, a powerful mechanism for seamlessly integrating OpenTofu's advanced features into your existing Terraform infrastructure. Previously confined to .tf files, OpenTofu's capabilities were limited in scope.  With .tofu files, you can now selectively incorporate OpenTofu-specific functionalities without disrupting your established Terraform workflows.  This dual-file approach fosters a gradual adoption strategy, allowing teams to experiment with OpenTofu's innovations, such as the upcoming variable deprecation feature, while maintaining compatibility with existing Terraform configurations. The new .tofu files make it easier for anyone writing infrastructure modules to support both Terraform and OpenTofu. This benefits community contributors and in-house developers alike. Now, you can create separate module versions for each framework, increasing flexibility and ensuring compatibility across different environments. OpenTofu v1.8 is not merely an incremental update but a foundational step towards a future rich in innovative features. While .tf files remain fully supported, we encourage exploring the potential of .tofu files to unlock the full power of OpenTofu without compromising your current infrastructure. Expect even more groundbreaking advancements in upcoming #OpenTofu releases.

Exploring Red Hat’s latest projects for Kubernetes support 🦾 We’re live at #KubeCon! Dig into Red Hat’s latest with projects #Podman, #Buildah, and #Skopeo with Mark Russell, principal product manager at Red Hat, and Stevan Le Meur, principal product manager of developer tools at Red Hat, as they join #theCUBE at #KubeCon NA. “Podman is an interactive container engine with the ability to run #containers without any root or elevated privileges. My favorite thing is a feature called quadlet, which allows you to take pods and containers and turn them into system services with a dead simple text file that you could just copy from machine to machine. Buildah is a tool that focuses on building container images. It's very suitable to containerized pipelines, and Skopeo, which is a bit of a Swiss army tool that works with container images and remote registries,” Russell shares. Le Meur joins the conversation, saying, “With Podman desktop, we built on top to provide a nice user interface to work both with containers and Kubernetes. It’s a desktop application that runs on Mac. It's for application developers and it abstracts away all the configuration and setup of different tools needed to work with these technologies. It has everything you need in order to work with containers.” 📺 Tune in for more insights! https://lnkd.in/gm6gfw4N Rob Strechay Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)
